Ok then do it for all pages that go back not just for those leftover from
the moving of pages to the inactive list (why would you move those???)

Just trying to figure out what your patch does there and it does not make
much sense to me so far.
Maybe the hunk does apply in a different location than I thought. If you
do that in the loop over the pages on active list then it would make
sense. But in that case you need another piece of it doing the same to the
pages that are released at the end of shrink_active_list().
